April 1 - 30, 2025: Issue 641

 

McCarrs Creek Reserve Public Jetty, Brown's Bay Public Jetty, Rostrevor Reserve, Cargo Wharf, Church Point Public Wharf: Thursday April 3 2025

This week's pictures are a part of Pittwater Online News' Site Investigations for the Pittwater Wharves History series 2024-25 and taken on Thursday April 3 2025 in the mid-morning to lunch time timeframe. 

Taking the photos and investigating the sites had been delayed in recent weeks due to overcast and rainy conditions, which also delays the resuming of the History of Pittwater Public wharves series - it's important to stand where these places were and still are and look around. The views, landscapes/seascapes may have changed, but you can still locate remnants of what was and get a sense of place by standing in these grounds, and in this case, waters, during the Seasons the original inhabitants, and the European settlers and farmers, would also have been looking at those green hills and blue waters.

After months of research, and a load/set that can take between 40 to 80 hours, the first of the McCarrs - Brown's Bay - Church Point Public wharves should be available for the Autumn School Holidays 'break' Issue - Week 2 of April 2025.

But first, a few photos from that site investigation pictures gathering adventure - which underlines why Autumn is a great Season to explore the quieter tucked away parts of Pittwater during the first week of April.

The photos sequence generally runs from left to right in 180 to 360 degrees, or west to north to east then south, to give you a good look around at what was there.
